I'm writing this mainly because I recently posted a bulletin in discord, but I also wished to address something.
I posted this:
@members of Risen Revolution,
During these hard and unstable times, I have noticed some of you have lost interest in RR and have either fled to new groups with no intent in staying active for RR, or have lost motivation entirely for RR.
RR is not shutting down, but rather, we are going to work harder. First things first, I just want to say that if you have no intent on remaining with RR or participating in our activities, you need to go. I am quite disappointed because I do know some of you get online, or participate in the discord and have work, school, etc. However, I also know that some of you have decided to use it as an excuse to run off and no longer remain active for RR, or you just don't have the motivation. Some of you have actual reasons, and I know which of you do, but I also know that very few of you have just not been cooperative with the efforts made by staff. Please don't forget the overseers are still here, so a change in leadership should also not be a reason in your decline in activity.
If you don't plan on participating, then you can pack your bags. I wanted this to be a fun community, and I almost considered shutting this group down because no one was involved, but perhaps I am second guessing as a majority of you just are super busy. So I ask of you, either get involved and participate, or leave altogether. I, and many other staff, are tired of dragging dead weight from some of you. If you are busy (I know who is based on the absence board) then please relax as you have nothing to worry about. If you haven't updated me or staff, you WILL be kicked or asked to leave. It is plain and simple.
This post received 35 reactions to it so they could stay. However, I have seen little to no progress coming from members in order to increase this.
I wanted to make this clear, because I am in fact a bit disappointed.
Ever since a change in staff, people have just stopped getting online. People have stopped being interested. Do I know why? I really don't, but my only guess is that because of the change in staff, people are uncomfortable and people are wary. I've made my best effort to try and give you guys the best that I can, but even when I'm giving it my all, it still isn't enough for anyone. You guys voted, but I see none of you using the aspects of the group that you voted for. I added a roleplay section for the discord, and I've given the group prompts to use, but it seems like none of you bother to use it.
There are 70 of you in the discord, and only about 10 of the people on discord talk. I want to know if this is because of the change in staff, or simply because you are too busy to chat on the discord, rp on the discord, or get online. Staff altogether works their butt off just for you guys. They may be foreign to you but they work so hard to try and give you guys the best things possible. They host events, they recruit, they talk to you, they give you movie nights, they rp on the discord, and they do everything for you that you could possibly have. Yet, barely anyone participates. Barely anyone participates on the discord side of things and barely anyone participates online. We were lucky the past few weeks, we actually had 15 people on the previous week, and just the other day we had about 12 of you online. We had tons of you RP on the discord RP for activities, yet it seems every week, we are slowly declining.
Ever since the staff change, everything has slowly declined. I don't know what to do and I am at a loss. I'm at a loss because I can only do so much, and the previous staff can only do so much. We are busy, and we cannot go back now. It's a struggle for us, but that doesn't mean we aren't still staff. We try our best and get on from time to time, and we do everything in our power to do what's best for you. I don't know what else to do, because RR was brought up again to thrive. I want our allies to have a proper alliance without us falling inactive. I want our newer members to feel out the group and get to know what RR really is about. However, I can't do that without everyone's participation. I need you guys to help.
I don't ever beg, and I don't like to. However, right now I am. I am BEGGING you, please help. A group without it's members is just a group of leaders, and that doesn't make much. Whenever you guys have time, whenever you guys feel like you can hop on, or post in the discord, or join the movie, please do so. We work so hard and we want the best for everyone, but when barely anyone or no one participates, that makes it hard for the group to thrive. I, and the other staff are constantly struggling and battling with inactivity. We don't know if it's because of everyone being busy, or because the staff has changed and no one has the motivation and don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Let us help you, and let us try and make this better. We want you guys to have fun, we don't want you to be bored. I get constant complaints about people being bored or don't want to get on or don't want to RP. Staff has given you the leverage, but it is up to you to take it.
I am begging you to help us. As a community, as a family, as friends or as strangers. Please help us out with activity. Talk in the discord. Make recommendations on how we can help you feel more comfortable. Put yourself out there, even if it's a little "hi" or "how are you guys", or "did you see that new movie? lets talk about it", or even hop online and help when staff is recruiting. Apply to be a staff member and help us out best you can. We need you guys, and we love everyone here. We just are in dire need of help right now.
I appreciate everyone willing to be active, but I need you all to take initiative. Even if its just for a few minutes, maybe an hour or something relative to that. Please help us out.
If you have any ideas on how to make everyone more comfortable, please send me details. I want RR to thrive, and I want everyone to be comfortable.
Thank you,
